Description
Quick, rigorous, unpredictable and implacable, irresistibly funny yet nevertheless disturbing and modern; this first experimental novel by poet Olivier Cadiot is difficult to describe. It is a sort of survivor’s manual, containing a complete listing of things to do in case of creative exile. A how-to book on creating art entirely on your own, it is also a handbook filled with poetic exercises, observations and customs, hidden memories, descriptions of other people’s daily lives, and analyses of things that tend to happen again and again; It is also a listing of techniques on how to oberserve those you know well, a consideration of individual sensations and their explanation, a dialogue with only one voice, and a visitor’s guide to nature.
Author
Olivier Cadiot : Olivier Cadiot lives in Paris, where he has edited, with Pierre Alferi, Revue de littérature générale. His own books include Ars Poetique and Le Colonel des Zouaves, among other works.
